WINWING VS VKB | Winwing Ursa Minor & VKB Gladiator NXT Break Down

The WINWING Ursa Minor is very similar to the VKB Gladiator NXT, specifically the gimbal, and there are claims that WINWING stole some parts of the design, so we decided to break down both sticks to see if they truly are identical. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

We have a Discord server! You can come here to chat, discuss DCS stuff and fly together!

On this channel I mostly focus on DCS World but I also dabble in other flight simulator and combat related games. I make tutorials and also videos where I fly solo and with friends.

If you like games like War Thunder, MSFS and xPlane consider checking out DCS World by Eagle Dynamics. It is a flight simulator where you can simulate combat scenarios with very detailed and realistic aircraft like the F-16C, F-14, A-4E, MiG-29, Su-27, AV-8B Harrier and others. With dogfights and BVR combat you can see aviation from a different point of view.

incredible. shows the build quality and difference, thanks for the breakdown

TBH it’s their rights to sue Winwing for this, but for fliers like us, we are the winner, the price for this is just amazing, I even got mine changed to a harder spring so it feels super nice flying an Airbus.

And obviously Winwing is pushing the industry forward regardless of mechanism design or pricing. Especially TM is going to starve because of them😅

crazy that its that similar and copied but the problem is that i dont have alot of money and the Winwing is the only option that i can afford and its such a big upgrade

[NuWhite]

Shame of Winwing, don't buy their stuff if you don't wanna support thieves

[bryanmoore]

Could you try putting the WInwing grip on the VKB base?

Thank you for the video! I believe all experienced fans were aware but when a ripoff has excatly the same screw position, how can you honestly find excuses? VKB and winwing are both chinese, so i guess nobody will nevr know anything about any courtlaw decision... sad because VKB will be harmed with their top selling product becoming obsolete price wise

Who tf cares, more sticks in hands means more players.

Homestly I fail to see why I should feel anything about this. This gimbal design isn't VKBs property, the design might've been forgotten in the 2010s TM monopoly, but the VKB design itself is pretty obviously adapted from the CH fighterstick. I don't think WinWing is cheaper than VKB because they chose to base the gimbal on the NXT rather than fighterstick. The result would've been the exact same since the cost cutting measures on the WW product (like the giant single layer PCB) are so obvious.

WINWING It's way Superior. I'm very familiar with both. You can see on the tear down that the WW has a superior design even for a mid-range 👊😎
